Topic: Response of a strongly interacting spin-orbit coupling system to a Zeeman field : Topological quantum spin liquid or not? 

Speaker：Ying Li (Associate Professor at Graduate School of CAEP)

Host: Yirong Jin，Professor，Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences

Abstract: To perform useful tasks on noisy intermediate-scale quantum computer, we need to employ powerful error mitigation techniques. The quasi-probability method (probabilistic error cancellation) permits perfect error compensation at the cost of additional circuit executions. In this talk, I will present a scalable way to characterise quantum circuits using Clifford sampling. Based on Clifford sampling, we can find the optimal random circuit distribution in error mitigation. This new error mitigation protocol is practical for intermediate-scale quantum computing.
